Author Liz Flaherty Invites Us to Meet the Protagonists of NICE TO COME HOME TO (with a giveaway!)

Characters, and the development thereof, are my favorite parts of writing books. They usually come to me pretty fully developed, scars and all, long before I know their stories. This is fun.

But then the characters do exactly what everyone else does—they change.

When I first met Cass and Luke before finding out what their story was, Luke was a cranky engineer who owned half an orchard he had no emotional investment in. Cass was a victim of life’s slings and arrows, crawling back to Lake Miniagua to heal. They weren’t going to like each other, and they were going to be too emotionally stunted to like other people, either.

Oh, good grief. What on earth was I thinking?

You’ll be glad to know that Luke is a friendly guitar-playing acrophobe and Cass is a survivor, not a victim, and even though she’s a successful writer of a mystery series, she wants to be…are you ready for this?…she wants to be a barista.

I hope you enjoy Nice to Come Home To and getting to know Cass and Luke as much as I did. Thanks so much for coming by!

About the Author:

Liz Flaherty was a little nervous about retiring from her day job, but making quilts, more family time, traveling at the mere mention of “why don’t we go…” and becoming a Harlequin Heartwarming author have made the past years more fun and exciting than she could ever have imagined.

For Cass Gentry, coming home to Lake Miniagua, teenage half sister in tow, is bittersweet. But her half of the orchard she inherited awaits, and so does a fresh face—Luke Rossiter, her new business partner. Even though they butt heads in business, they share one key piece of common ground: refusing to ever fall in love again. But as their lives get bigger, that stance doesn’t feel like enough…
